    This one, "Kid Charlemagne," "Don't Take Me Alive," and "Haitian Divorce." I could put those four on a continuous loop and listen to them until the end of time. Makes me proud to have lived and been contemporary with so many great artists and their music.

    That was an unusual Steely Dan song because the lyrics are - almost - tender and gentle. They usually traffic in very twisted and cynical lyrics over that smooth jazzy sound. I was in a band that played this...I was very proud of finally nailing that riff at the end of the choruses. I also learned what a squonk is!

      There’s still a cynical side in that the “major dude” sounds like a narcissist who’s accidentally giving good advice. “Any minor world …” sounds like a narcissist’s contempt for other people’s problems, so even if their advice is good, the recipient of the advice might not heed it. Very brilliant, subtle song.

    • @christianman73

      @@BobGeogeo I agree about *this* song, but "Rikki" is not exactly a "genuine, caring" song, from all that I've read about it. It's about a married woman who met Donald Fagen, and was attracted to him, but ultimately decided not to cheat on her husband with him. Fagen was basically saying, "Keep my number, because you might change your mind in the future."

    I believe this song is about one friend's attempt to comfort another friend after a bad drug trip. The lines "When the demon is at your door, in the morning it won't be there no more, ( just try to sleep through it or somehow get through it so you can kick this thing)", and "I can tell you all I know: the where to go, (where to attend a meeting), the what to do, (seek outside assistance, go to rehab). You can try to run but you can't hide from what's inside of you,(you're an addict)" all give away the meaning.

    • @JustMe-vk4fn

      I think your interpretation of this song is spot-on. Sometimes I wonder how much it would mean to addicted human beings all around the world to learn that *bees* and other pollinators pay more time and attention to pollinating plants which produce nicotine and codeine than they do to other edible plants? I guess bees like a bit of caffeine with their honey, eh? :D At the end of the day we are *all* animals and we *all* share some of the same addiction-based behavior with other species of animals when we eat or use materials from plants that produce addictive harvests.

    Yes, feed me some Pretzel Logic! An under-appreciated classic! The only song you've done from this album previously was "Rikki Don't Lose that Number", but this song rules, and so does the title track.
    Likewise, off of their 2nd album ("Countdown to Ecstasy"), you've only hit "My Old School", but both "Show Biz Kids" and "King of the World" are MUSTS and "Bodhisattva" and "The Boston Rag" were key parts to the live set, as well.

    I love the electric piano (Fender Rhodes?) in this song, and the lyrics are very encouraging! One of the rare examples of Steely Dan doing a more straightforward, positive song, lyrically speaking. I enjoy their usual darker, more cynical takes, and that's very often the Steely Dan way, lyrically, in terms of their view of life, but this song is different, and it has a special place in my heart. It has actually helped me at some dark times.

  • @frankshaffer7645
    @frankshaffer7645 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The guitar sounds like a vintage Fender Strat with the Bridge + Center pickups.
    This also makes sense because the guitar players they employed for album are known to play Stratocasters and Telecasters.
    Vintage Strats had a switch that if you balanced it just right between the bridge and center (or neck and center) pickups it would combine the pickups in a unique way. (Some guitar players call it "Out-of-Phase" , but it isn't actually out-of-phase.
    This sound became so popular that Fender eventually replaced the vintage 3-way blade switch with a 5-way blade switch to facilitate the sound. Eric Clapton used it to great effect. More recently, John Mayer uses that sound often.

    One of my all time favorite Steely Dan songs

    I think "Reeling in the Years" is Steely Dan's best song! However, they did tons of great songs, definitely worth a reaction at some point.

    This one is a top tier SD song and it has been since I first heard it as a teen.

    If you haven't done 'Deacon Blues,' then your Steely Dan coverage is incomplete.

    You want to relax? Put on some Steely Dan. Guantanamera was a hit when i was young. This new take has over 75 Cuban's from around the world participating. "Playing For Change | Guantanamera " Also they do a fantastic Gimme Shelter, "What's going on" and "Listen to The Music". Love your Channel too.

    Thanks for reacting to this one. AMDWTY is uniquely sincere and direct for the Dan. It seems to me Fagen wrote this to SD's co-head and friend Walter Becker, who had mental and substance abuse issues that put him in the hospital and broke of the band during Gaucho. Still, it's a marvelously sweet and direct song, seemingly one friend to another.
    And I agree that SD are artistic, innovative masters. In that regard I put them in the same category as the Beatles, though much less well known.
    And I believe that instrument is a keyboard synthesizer, probably played by Fagen.

      I was wondering if the song was sincere or if Fagan was being sarcastic. Thanks for posting this.

    Steely Dan have a lot of great songs. You guys should check out “Kid Charlemagne “ or “Hey Nineteen “ as your next Steely Dan song.
    Thanks
